|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 2022 | Series D | Qatar Investment Authority (lead) | $400M | $13B | Celonis is a process mining platform company headquartered in New York and Munich that helps enterprises identify operational inefficiencies across their business processes. The platform detects opportunities to improve supply chain, procurement, and delivery operations by analyzing process data to find bottlenecks and unnecessary expenditures. Major enterprise customers include Johnson & Johnson, Dell Technologies, and Cisco Systems. On August 23, 2022, Celonis closed a $400 million equity Series D extension round at a post-money valuation of $13 billion, led by Qatar Investment Authority with participation from new and existing investors including Activant Capital (advised by Neuberger Berman), Alta Park Capital, Commonfund Capital, Arena Holdings, T. Rowe Price Associates, Franklin Templeton, Durable Capital Partners, TCV, 83North, Accel Partners, and Sator Grove. The round was part of a broader $1 billion liquidity package that included expansion of a revolving credit facility to $600 million with a syndicate of leading global banks. The company demonstrated strong momentum with more than 2,500 enterprise deployments worldwide at the time of the funding. Annual recurring revenue was reported to be on track to reach $400 million by the end of 2021, indicating rapid revenue growth. This Series D extension followed the company's $1 billion Series D round closed in June 2021 at an $11 billion valuation. Celonis stated it would deploy the additional $1 billion in liquidity to accelerate product innovation, increase adoption among Global 2000 customers, pursue strategic acquisitions, and deepen ecosystem partnerships. The company described executing another record year of strong growth and emphasized its competitive position in the process mining market as a leader helping customers navigate challenging economic and supply chain environments. |
| Jun 2021 | Series D | Durable Capital Partners (lead); T. Rowe Price (lead); Putnam Premier IT; Sator Grove Holdings; TCV; Splunk Ventures; Arena Holdings | $1B | $11B | Celonis, a Munich and New York-based leader in process mining and execution management software, raised $1 billion in its Series D funding round on June 2, 2021. The round was co-led by Durable Capital Partners and T. Rowe Price, with participation from Franklin Templeton, Splunk Ventures, Arena Holdings, and other existing investors. This investment increased Celonis's post-money valuation to more than $11 billion, up from $2.5 billion in its 2019 Series C. At the time, Celonis reported triple-digit year-over-year growth, over 1,000 enterprise customers including Uber, Dell, L’Oréal, and AstraZeneca, and more than 1,300 employees. The company also appointed Carlos Kirjner, former Google finance executive, as CFO. Funds were intended to accelerate product development, global expansion, and scaling operations amid strong demand for its AI-powered workflow optimization tools. This round marked a significant milestone, positioning Celonis as a decacorn and fueling speculation about a potential IPO, supported by institutional investors active in public markets. |
| Nov 2019 | Series C | Arena Holdings (lead); Ryan Smith; 83North; Accel; Tooey Courtemanch | $290M | $2.5B | Celonis, founded in 2011 by Bastian Nominacher, Alexander Rinke, and Martin Klenk, with headquarters in Munich, Germany, and New York City, develops AI-powered process mining software that analyzes enterprise data to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities in business processes such as finance, supply chain, and customer service. The platform tracks software-generated data to provide actionable insights, enabling companies to automate improvements and boost efficiency by 30-40% within months. On November 21, 2019, Celonis raised $290 million in a Series C funding round led by Arena Holdings, with participation from principal investors including Qualtrics CEO Ryan Smith and Procore founder Tooey Courtemanche, as well as existing backers 83North and Accel. This brought the company's post-money valuation to $2.5 billion, following a $50 million Series B in June 2018 that valued it at $1 billion and a $27.5 million Series A in 2016. Total funding at the time reached $370 million. The proceeds were earmarked for expanding U.S. sales and marketing teams, accelerating global expansion, investing in R&D for process intelligence tools, and enhancing platform features in finance, supply chain, and customer service to shift from insights to automated actions. Celonis had nearly 800 employees globally after doubling headcount the prior year and served major clients like 3M, Airbus, Danaher, L’Oréal, Lufthansa, Siemens, and Uber. The company reported over 100% year-over-year revenue growth and had remained profitable since inception. This round positioned Celonis as a leader in the process mining space amid massive enterprise spending on digital transformation, exceeding $1 trillion annually. Subsequent rounds included a $1 billion Series D in June 2021 at over $11 billion valuation and a $400 million extension in August 2022 reaching nearly $13 billion. |
| Jun 2018 | Series B | 83North (lead); Accel (lead) | $50M | $1B | Celonis is a process mining software company founded in 2011 by Alexander Rinke, Bastian Nominacher, and Martin Klenk. The Munich-based company uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help enterprises understand and optimize their operational business processes. In June 2018, Celonis raised $50 million in Series B funding from existing investors Accel Partners and 83North, valuing the company at $1 billion and establishing it as a unicorn. The company had previously received a $27.5 million Series A investment from the same investors in June 2016. Celonis had been profitable every year since its 2011 inception and had exceeded growth targets, with the company claiming 5,000 percent growth over four years and 300 percent year-over-year growth at the time of the Series B round. Major customers included ExxonMobil, 3M, Merck, Lockheed Martin, and Uber, with deals frequently reaching seven figures. At the time of the Series B round, Celonis employed 400 people and stated plans to expand to over 1,000 employees within 18 months. The funding was designated as strategic capital to support geographic expansion into the U.S. Midwest and San Francisco, introduce additional automated consulting features, and position the company for potential acquisitions and new market opportunities. Despite being a Series B company, Celonis's early profitability and exceptional customer growth made it an unusual case in enterprise software funding. |
| Jun 2016 | Series A | 83North (lead); Accel (lead); Aerion Partners | $28M | - | Celonis is a process mining software company that analyzes enterprise IT systems like SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce to optimize business processes such as procurement, accounting, customer service, and e-commerce in real time. Founded in Germany, it had been revenue-generating and profitable for multiple years prior to its first external funding, with explosive growth of around 4,000% over four years leading up to June 2016. The company bootstrapped initially, serving mainly European markets like Germany, Benelux, and the UK, before announcing a $27.5 million Series A round on June 7, 2016, led by Accel and 83North to launch technology, build the market, expand sales and marketing globally—especially in the US—and enhance its product. This Series A enabled Celonis to open a New York office and grow its US presence, which expanded significantly afterward with over 150 employees there by 2018 and further offices in Boston, Raleigh, and Miami. Customers included major firms like Merck, Lockheed Martin, ExxonMobil, and Uber. The funding provided strategic expertise from investors experienced in scaling tech companies to IPOs, adding flexibility amid accelerating demand for process mining. Subsequent rounds built on this foundation: a $50 million Series B in June 2018 from the same investors at $1 billion valuation, supporting US expansion, R&D, and growth to over 400 employees with 5,000% growth over four years and 300% in the prior year. Later financings included $290 million Series C in 2019, $1 billion Series D in 2021 at $11 billion, and a $400 million extension in 2022 at $13 billion, totaling over $2.4 billion raised. |
